Gaza hospitals have received twelve people wounded and four people killed by the IDF over the past 48 hours, the Strip’s Hamas-run health ministry says in an afternoon report.
It does not identify the dead, say where the people were killed, wounded, or specify the severity of the wounds.
Mohaed Abu Selmiya, director of Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital, was cited by The Associated Press on Thursday, saying the hospital received the bodies of four Palestinians killed by IDF tank shelling in eastern Gaza City. The IDF has not commented, but attributes such strikes to ceasefire violations by Hamas.
According to Palestinian media, the four people were killed on the Hamas-controlled side of the Gaza ceasefire line. They were not identified in the reports.
Meanwhile, the Hamas-run ministry says in its daily report that a three-month-old baby boy died of cold exposure in Gaza. He is identified as Ali Abu Zur.
The ministry says he died at the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Hospital in Deir al-Balah, in the Strip’s center. Palestinian media reported he died on Thursday.
